Where can I buy filter socks' material? (EU)

[OLIX]

Hi guys,

I've discovered that many reefers make their own filter socks because it's much more convenient. I've found some products, but they're all sold in America, and I'm from Italy. Do you know where I can buy some fabric from other websites, maybe AliExpress? I found a food-grade nylon mesh, but I'm not sure if I can trust it or how many meshes to buy (I would probably buy 100 micron like acquarium filter socks). Do you have any advice?

Thanks

how about filter floss/fleece instead? You can buy in bulk and then just throw it away each time you replace it.

But is it as efficient as a filter sock? filter socks are very dense and I usually use socks of 100/200 micron.

I'd think so - filter sock is a single layer, fleece is many layers limited only by how many times you fold and how densely you pack it. lower maintenance is the real benefit in my opinion, who likes cleaning filter socks?

I've stopped using filter sox , i replaced them with filter cups and i just use pillow case filler polyester last about 4 to 5 days then just throw it away and refill
u can buy the cups on Amazon from red sea
